War from distance
Like computer games
Tomorrows young killers
Jet fighters and planes
War from distance
Can wear a smile
A deep facade
Embracing lies.
No need for empathy
The enemy isnt real
Its a game played in bedrooms
Upon a computers monitor screen
Teenage killers
Taught to employ
By means of a joystick
A most fun toy.
Towns and cities fall
The dead in a pile
Lets introduce scoreboards
Winner take all
For now just technology
In hands of the young
Tomorrows killers skills
Have already begun.

Joystick killer a job with a future !
So true
Distancing is the key to making a soulless warrior. We have known this for a long time calling them Hun's, Japs, Gooks, Charlie. Now virtually putting them on a computer screen reduced to pixels works even better. Movies and video games are not real and neither does this appear to be. What's the harm in a little projected death on screen.
so true, thanks for comments, appreciated
